#Adult: SERIAL KILLERS. I mention this one a lot. I'd love to see a female serial killer, but I'm not picky. Cat and mouse games. The psychology of a killer. The seemingly normal life that they lead. #MSWL

Oo! And what about a YA (Or adult, really) where it's f/f and they're forced to work on a painting together to win scholarship money or startup money. But they hate each other and then end up having a paint fight ๐Ÿ˜ enemies to lovers! #MSWL

I love novels (MG, YA, adult any genre) that are mostly in our world but have a single magical component that changes everything. #MSWL

For adult, I'd love a contemporary romance with humor. Maybe not full out Bridget Jones, but something that takes realistic elements and makes us giggle at them. #MSWL

Some general info:
- Iโ€™m currently only accepting agented submissions
- Iโ€™m very actively seeking adult horror for #Nightfire, so thatโ€™s my priority
- BUT Iโ€™m open to YA horror, and adult and YA fantasy, scifi, and thrillers as well

I'm truly interested in the intersection of upmarket sentences and scary content, whether that's for MG, YA or adult...I am here for this. #MSWL

Currently on a HUGE hunt for historical! Any age. I want lesser known historic events and locations. I want MG trusted to become enmeshed in important/involved moments. I want YA and Adult to show rebellion or championing against the common law. #MSWL

And another #mswl in the thriller space: I am horribly obsessed with true crime about cults, and family secrets that lead to deadly outcomes, and wild stuff like this. In Adult, especially, and in YA!

Before I forget! I love historical romance, historical fantasies, alternate historical fantasies etc etc in YA and Adult. Iโ€™d LOVE an f/f in a period story! Like duchess debauchery or some shit. With WOC!!! Bc racism is a recent phenomenon. #mswl

It's #MSWL day, and I don't make the rules, so here I go.
(Adult Fiction)

Adult #Mystery, #Thriller, #Suspense-- I love my dark mysteries and thrillers along the lines of Tana French. I will never do a #MSWL without Tana French's name. Ever. I've read a ton of Ruth Ware this year, and loved it all.

Hey, it's #mswl day! I'm a SFF editor with DAW Books looking to acquire submissions for the adult market.

Just a brief reminder that I can only consider agented submissions. That said, here are some things I'd love to see in my inbox!
